    Hi all - might be a stupid question, but how detailed should your answers to "why law" and "why firm" be? Although my previous AC was successful, my answers to these two questions were seen as too vague in a mock interview with RARE so I'm really not confident (e.g., I gave an example of...

    very sure they've been holding ACs for quite a while now, a friend of mine did hers on 3rd, mine is on 11th and they had 9th and 10th as options as well.

    I may not be the best person to answer this (I'm quite outgoing and a people-person) but here's a few things I did at my AC: 1) stayed relaxed and smiled - small step but the most important:) 2) talked about my personal *non-polished* experiences - so be authentic. Interviewers asked me to talk...

    Don't think so. I had it on 20th Jan and we were among the very first batches; personally I also know many ppl are preparing for upcoming ACs.

    in my AC they asked this and I only roughly mentioned what practice areas were (probably) involved, and then spent more time talking about the impacts of that deal - potential challenges, opportunities and competition in the industry. I also linked the deal to a recent case I read from FT just...

    This is exactly how I felt before my first AC (well it happened about only 5 days ago 🤣 ). Thing is that last year I applied for 6 first-year schemes, rejected by all, and I thought oh well if I couldn't even get first year offers what's my chance of getting a VS? Probs none. And then AC invite...

    Just curious when law firms say "up to 70 places on vacation schemes", does that mean 70 in total across all schemes or 70 per scheme (to me the former makes more sense)? They have ~50 TCs pa and I'm trying to figure out the average VS conversion ratio
